First week (critical incident)

This week the school started a new way of teaching the children. This way of teaching wes as it shows bellow:

 I think this way will not be too long because all the teacher are not happy about it and no one can manage this way. Moreover, it will affect the children’s learning because it is more teacher centered and the children are not having any active learning or creativity activities any more. When Dr. Neil came to observe me, I tried to let the children active but he didn’t like the way that I were using and he felt board about it, so this affected my grade. When I told Ms. Asma about it, she felt sorry about it and she came to talk to me. She tried to manage my emotions because I were upset and confused about what I have to do.  She said that she will try to do whatever she can do to help me to change the way of teaching and also she told me to do what I think is correct and not what I have been forced to do.

For this issue, she was an active listener because she listened to me when I was talking to her and she tried to get the meaning and reasons of what I was saying to her. Also, sometimes she reflect and clarify my understanding when she summarize what she have said. The most important skill that she is using is using eye contact and body language while she talk. She gave me one advice that it stuck in my head which was “Do what you believe is correct and not what you have been forced to do”. With her advice, she support me and placate me.
